Program Information

Master of Public Administration - Homeland Security

At the local, national and international level, threats to our homeland’s security continue to evolve and morph. A new generation of vigilant leaders requires a new mission for education. Anna Maria College is proud to offer a new online Concentration and Certificate in Homeland Security in our Master of Public Administration program. Created and taught by highly respected experts in the field, this program offers returning vets and working professionals the edge to advance their careers in this growing market segment as well as the convenience of online flexibility. These are credentials worth looking into for those who wish to stand strong for our country’s security, whatever tomorrow may bring.

The building of national security has taken on great importance in this day and age. To succeed, professionals must be well educated on ethical and social issues of security, liberty, risk assessment and vulnerability, motivation, multiagency cooperation, intelligence cycles, victimization and fear, technology, resource management, and media/ mass communication informing them through the various processes and resources available while developing best practices, programs and policies in response. To address these issues, Anna Maria College has developed a Graduate Certificate/Concentration in Homeland Security.

Students enrolled in the Homeland Security Program have two options: a stand-alone Graduate Certificate in Homeland Security for those looking beyond the undergraduate level and outside a degree program; or as a concentration under the Master of Public Administration Program at Anna Maria.
